    Transmission, engine, performance and other parts

    For a while, I've been debating whether I should go a different route performance-wise with the Marauder. A recent valve train noise and a good deal on a forged engine has motivated me to make the change. I will be selling almost everything engine-related out of my current 2004 Mercury Marauder setup. With the performance items (minus the ported intake) listed below, headers, exhaust, and gears, I ran a best ET of 13.5, a best MPH of 101, and a best 60' of 1.8. I want to sell quickly, but the Marauder and Crown Vic communities will have first dibs. All parts (except transmission, transmission pan, Cobra exhaust manifolds, and battery backup siren) are in used condition, no warranties / guarantees can be provided, buyer will be responsible for shipping, and only non-CC paypal can be accepted. With that said, the big ticket items are OBO.


    Stock Marauder Torque Converter ( $175 obo )

    • Original converter in 2004 Mercury Marauder with ~52k miles

    *NEW* 2004 Ford Mustang Cobra Exhaust Manifolds ( $150 obo )

    • Brand new (0 miles)
    • Retail is over $200 each!

    Stock Front Rotors ( $35 obo )

    • ~65k miles

    Stock Rear O2 Sensors ( $20 obo )

    • ~55k miles

    *NEW* Battery Backup Siren ( $15 )

    • Never used, Paid $30

    [Sold!] *NEW* 2004 Ford Mustang Cobra Tremec T-56 6-Speed Manual Transmission ( $2000 obo )

    • Brand new (0 miles) and includes full clutch assembly (clutch, pressure plate, fly wheel)
    • Selling since I decided against doing a manual conversion
    • Buyer is responsible for local pick-up in Orlando, FL (preferred) or for freight shipping
    • There is NO core charge for this purchase

    [Sold!] 2004 Marauder Long Block ( $1000 obo )

    • Engine has approximately 77,000 miles on it and was well maintained. For the last 50k miles, it has received:
      • Mobil 1 oil and a Wix filter every ~2.5k miles
      • Motorcraft plugs every ~10k miles
      • Wix fuel filter every ~10k miles
      • K&N air filter cleaning every ~10k miles
      • Motorcraft Gold coolant every ~20k miles

    • Currently, the engine has what appears to be a passenger side head noise
      • Faint noise began >~10k miles ago
      • Was advised to leave it alone until it became more pronounced
      • Current noise is a loud tapping / clanking noise that comes and goes
        • Sometimes it's loud and can be heard from in the cab
        • Other times it can't even be heard from the engine bay

      • A Mustang performance shop and local dealership both decided the noise was likely from the upper engine after listening to it
      • Another performance shop said they've experienced similar noises, which had been related to the valve train
      • The exact problem is unknown, but the plugs checked out fine, the oil was changed and nothing unusual was spotted, oil pressure was fine, and there was no noticeable loss in power

    • Above price will include short block, heads, valve and coil covers, and water pump
    • Will sell fully dressed for an extra $400, which will include:
      • Alternator, idlers, tensioners
      • Coil packs, plugs
      • Full intake, throttle body, inlet tube w/ MAF
      • Exhaust manifolds

    • Buyer is responsible for local pick-up in Orlando, FL (preferred) or for freight shipping
    • There is NO core charge for this purchase

    [Sold!] Ported Upper and Lower Intake with Upgraded Throttle Body ( $600 )

    • Ported, polished, and port matched (~$1000 in modifications not including the intake itself)
    • Equivalent PHP ported intake sells for $1200 and requires an additional $1200 core charge
    • Purchased for me a month ago on e-bay for $600
    • Powder coated engine silver for $150 and new lower gaskets for $50
    • $800 spent, and unfortunately it will will not work with my new setup!
    • Includes TPS, IAC, EGR, PHP Intake Spacer, Twin 62MM BBK throttle body, and gaskets

    I'll sell the wrap for $25 and the intake kit for $175, but will need to have buyers for both before splitting up the sale.
